MANILA, Philippines – Pocari Sweat-Air Force outlasted BaliPure-National University in a 5-set thriller, 29-27, 20-25, 19-25, 26-24,15-13, to bolster their semi-final bid in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Season 2 Reinforced Conference on Wednesday, June 20, at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan.

Myla Pablo unloaded 22 points and Madeline Palmer fired 21 points for the Pocari Lady Warriors, who stayed composed even after the BaliPure Water Defenders charged back to tie the count at 13 in the deciding set.

The defending champion Lady Warriors wrapped up the game on a Mhicaela Belen attack error and Palmer's match-clinching spike.
